Help in the creation of a new Birthmark album.

Nate Kinsella is recording a new Birthmark album in his house this summer with producer/engineer Jason Cupp. Your pledge money will be used to pay for instrument and equipment rental, session musicians (string and wind ensembles), studio time for mixing, and mastering.
